This just proves further that microsoft is incapable of making a good product and therefore have to drag another down to make themselves look good.
There is no hope for the american government, they are too inflewenced by lobbying and nothing can change that, let them buy microsoft products and keep fooling themselves, because in a few years they will be the only ones buying it.
I wonder how much they can inflewence the european union though, so far they dont seem to be taking much shit from microsoft but im sure they have taken a few bribes for software patents & the DMCA-style law.
At the end of the day it is common knowledge that linux is free and microsoft costs a fortune, and no amount of advertising, lobbying or spin-doctoring is going to change that.
They should at least provide POP3/SMTP & SSH. I used a http-only connection on my phone for a while and it sucked and the only reason i used it was cuz it was free.
Yay! stupid DRM is hacked again. Not so much longer and apple will give up on its DRM crap. I hate Durm so much.. grrrr
and there is no such thing as "stealing music" and DRM is a violation of your private property rights.
I DONT WANT MY OWN 2.5 GRAND COMPUTER TELLING ME WHAT I CAN AND CANT DO WITH IT. ITS MY COMPUTER!! I OWN IT! NOT THE RIAA!
ROFL!! true
americans are so chronically against themselves. always trying to help the big corporations and shit when they have almost no money and live in a trailer.
Why dont we just have a bunch of people with no possesions post some infringing code on our behalf and evil microsoft will take them to court and sue them. of course microsoft will have to pay their lawyers and the guy with no money will defend himself and drag the court case out as long as possible. If say 100-150 people do this on a regular basis then very soon they will stop enforcing their patents
Software patents dont make any sense because there is no real money to be made from publishing free software and therefore no damages to be extracted from the guy who publishes it. Its different if you make a tangeable good and it actually costs money to produce and market and there is a profit made from selling it.
actually not, if there are a lot of base stations then the handset will not have to use as much power to transmit to the nearest one.
and if there are enough base stations some will operate on lower power to make room for the others
A decentralised phone network would be nice, where people just run their own.8 to 2 watt bases and share their DSL-Bases. where if someone else uses your base you get "points" which can eventually be turned into money. It must be completely decentralised and encrypted so there is no big company on top getting fat from it. That should end the rip-off
I used to have a symbian phone, I must say I like the OS. But this virus extorting money from people with symbian phones & giving it to the likes of vodafone is just evil. I bet the guy who wrote it works for & supports the operators. Probably some 21 year old conservative stuck up guy named Rupert who gets beat up a lot.
Are there any virusses for M$ Dumbphone 2004 OS phones?

Didnt some guy do this last year, and overclocked his 2ghz P4 to 4ghz? i wonder how fast his cd rom drives are submerged in mineral oil ;)
Apple DRM is a pile of steaming shit. and so is every other DRM

Another perfectly good technology ruined by the evils of DRM
I suppose they will use evil TCPA to ferret out end users & block patented software

I thought that the US(r) Government(r) absolutely loved microsoft and would take any oppertunity to give them more money or pass new laws for them
Die DRM!!! Die! DIE!! DIE!!!
I'm using the beta version now, its sorta unstable :( hopefully this will be better
TCP/IP is an old inferior second generation technology.
